Sea foam

Once long ago in a far away land

Where the sea breeze is blown

Where the sea meets the sand

A young girl lives here 

The sea is where she may roam

And that is why her nickname is Seafoam

 

She and her love live on the sea bank

But it is time for him to leave

For he is a shipmate 

Soon to board the Mary-Kate

 

"Goodbye my dear

I soon will leave you here

We will indeed meet again

I promise you this you hear"

Her love said with a tear

 

He had been gone for one year

And little by little she slowly started to bear

the pain and loss of her dear lovers care

 

One very stormy night

A knock had been heard on the door at first light

An older gentleman delivered a message

Her love had died on the sea passage

 

The young man died in the seas wake

Young Sea Foam greived the loss of her mate

Dawn till Dusk

And dusk till dawn

 

She cried

"Goodbye my dear

You will leave me here

We will indeed meet again

I promise you this you hear"

She said with a tear

 

She wept and could not fathom how something so beautiful like the sea

could take something so special 

Whatever it may be

 

One moonless night 

Asleep after crying

She dreamed of dying 

Reunited with her truest love

 

When she awoke

There be, right in front of her

a women in a cloak

 

"What troubles your dream and reality

And may I ask what is one wish

that questions your morality "

The old women said with some tonality

 

"My dearest love perished 

and in the waves of the sea

is where his grave always will be

I wish to be with my love

even if that means I have to search every cove

Or every ship wreck

 

"Your wish will be granted 

You shall have what you wish

But not exactly what you wanted

You must swim like a fish 

To reach ever cove 

You must be ruthless and determined"

The old women continued

 

Little Sea Foam agreed

Depression making her naive

She woke up the next morning 

Able to breath

Under the seafoam

Where she swam free

 

She now has fins 

that allow her to search every cove and every ship

She now haunts the place where no man must go 

for she will wreck your ship 

In search of her true love

This is the story of a young sea foam 

That searches and destroys to get back what once was hers
